One thing I've noticed about this pregnancy is that it has gone by super fast and I have nothing done! I've been getting a little overwhelmed about how much we still have left to get and do before this little guy comes. I also forget I'm pregnant a lot more which I think is just because I have a toddler to take care of which is a nice distraction.
Its not very hot here yet so I'm still wearing jeans everyday and most of the time I'm still a little cold haha. I'm sure in a few weeks though it will be hot and so I'm preparing for that :)
I did my glucose test a few weeks ago and no gestational diabetes yay! I am anemic though which I expected since I was with Daniel too. They wanted me to take an iron supplement but I said no since they make me super sick and constipated so I'm just eating foods with more iron. Overall though I'm feeling good still. Not too tired yet but I'm sure as we enter the third trimester the exhaustion will increase again.
Movement: This little boy definitely doesn't move as often as Daniel did but he is much more intense. Daniel was always moving and this little guy likes to move enough so I know he's there and then get himself into some interesting positions. Its a little more painful for me sometimes because he just sits and pushes on my ribs making a little hard to breathe at times. I love when I can feel him move though and he reminds me that he's here.
Exercise: I'm still able to exercise everyday. Its such a great stress reliever and I love it! I'm hoping I can keep going as long as I did with Daniel which was about 36 weeks but we'll see.
Food: Still no really intense cravings with this little guy. Every now and then I start to crave something like I really want pizza or chocolate but a chocolate chip cookie or a slice of pizza satisfies me so I don't feel like a pig.
What do I Miss?: Right now the biggest thing I miss is not getting up so often to go to the bathroom at night. Some nights are ok but a few nights a week I get up way too often and it always takes me forever to get comfy and go back to sleep. I also miss being able to go shopping. I keep seeing so many things I want but they won't work until after the baby comes.
Daniel is becoming more aware of the baby now. Whenever I ask him where baby brother is he rubs my belly and if I ask him to give brother a hug then he hugs my belly. Its so cute! I've also been spending more and more alone time with Daniel. I'm struggling with knowing that soon he won't be my baby anymore and it won't just be the two of us. So we try to go out just the two of us everyday. I'm excited to see Daniel as a big brother but I'll miss our alone time.
I'm excited for this little guy to come but also terrified...sounds about right I think. I can't wait to see what he looks like and to cuddle him.
